On Saturday, Hoyeon graced the red carpet at the 2024 MAMA Awards in Osaka, Japan, bringing her signature blend of high fashion and edgy sophistication. Fresh off a brief press run for ‘Disclaimer,’ the model-actress wore a dress from the Louis Vuitton Resort 2025 collection.
This pleated balloon skirt silhouette has been a darling of the collection, previously seen on Zendaya (twice), Saoirse Ronan, Anna Sawai, Devon Ross, and Jurnee Smollett. Yet, Nicolas Ghesquière’s creative genius ensures that each appearance feels entirely unique, with Hoyeon’s interpretation being no exception.
Her black silk taffeta draped backless dress, featuring a halter necklace and a divisive high-low hemline, feels like a masterclass in balancing drama with minimalism. The addition of a black leather belt injects a rebellious edge, anchoring the voluminous skirt with a structured, modern touch.
What stands out here is the thoughtful restraint in styling. Opting for black leather Louis Vuitton Knot pumps and the Pure V bracelet in white and yellow gold with diamonds from the Louis Vuitton High Jewelry Collection, Hoyeon lets the gown take center stage without competing elements. This highlights the architectural brilliance of the dress while reinforcing her effortlessly cool aesthetic.
This look reaffirms what makes Hoyeon a red carpet standout: her ability to embrace gala-worthy elegance without sacrificing her penchant for bold, statement-making fashion. Not everyone can balance the theatricality of a balloon skirt with an air of nonchalant chic, but Hoyeon pulls it off with enviable ease.
